  It served in our CNY dinner, decanted half a hour, dark ruby, shy nose at the begining but became better in one hours decanting, silky palate, firm structure, still very young.

  At 14 years old, it is still drinking quite young. Popped and poured to see it develop. I wish I had decanted it for a couple of hours.

  Très beau vin délicieux avec une bouche assez souple et en finesse. Je le pensais bien plus vieux à l’aveugle.
  
  Nice delicious wine with a soft and refine palate.

  Kept getting better with air. Very typical and traditional bottling from bordeaux. Lots of redcurrant, tobacco and nice long finale.

  2021 Bordeaux Tasting Trip; 7/12/2021-7/16/2021 (Bordeaux): A tasting in Bordeaux of 71 wines, some of the best I have ever had and others, umm, well were disappointing. If you read the Tasting story (and my grading history) I think it will do a much better job putting this in perspective.
  
  Wonderful experience at Lafite with a 2006 Gran Vin and a 2009 Carruades de Lafite.
  
  This was for sure a visit I was looking forward to and the 2009 Carruades is a beautiful representation of the 2009 vintage with the beginning of the secondary flavors beginning to shine through. Lots of wonderful life left in the beautiful wine, very enjoyable!
